“…The highest percentage of victims who previously knew the assailant in some way is 79.4%, as was found by García Caballero et al (2017). Concerning the relationship, friendship is most frequent previous bond between victims and assailants, followed by new acquaintances (Anderson et al, 2019;Lawyer et al, 2010;Quintana et al, 2020;Tiemensma & Davies, 2018). Finally, Anderson et al (2019) and Tiemensma & Davies (2018) analyze the number of assailants.…”

“…Assailant Profile. Of the 19 reviewed studies, 7 provide information about the assailant's profile (Anderson et al, 2019;Basile et al, 2021;García Caballero et al, 2017;Lawyer et al, 2010;McGregor et al, 2003;Quintana et al, 2020;Tiemensma & Davies, 2018). Being conscious that the knowledge of this information depends on the testimony of the victims and, sometimes, due to the consumption of psychoactive substances, they have trouble remembering the facts of their assault (Prego-Meleiro et al, 2020).…”

“…Situational Information. Six reviewed articles include information about the context in which the DFSA happened, which was collected from victims' statements (Anderson et al, 2019;Du Mont et al, 2009;García Caballero et al, 2017;Lawyer et al, 2010;Quintana et al, 2020;Tiemensma & Davies, 2018). The most frequent studied variable is the place or spatial location where the DFSA happens.…”

Since the last two decades, the scientific community has made an effort to analyze drug-facilitated sexual assault (DFSA). However, a lack of understanding remains about the DFSA problem, particularly concerning the opportunistic variant. Facing this situation, a systematic review of the term DFSA is carried out from its first appearance in the scientific databases consulted (Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed) to the current day. The search resulted in 773 publications, reduced to a final study sample composed of 19 articles. Eligible studies for this review had to meet certain inclusion criteria, in addition to providing information on DFSA prevalence, DFSA victim profile, DFSA offender profile, involved drugs, or contextual information about the assault. The results demonstrated that the assailants are men, who mostly know victims before the assault. The victims are young women under 30 years old. Alcohol is the drug involved in most DFSA cases, prevailing a voluntary use. Most assaults occur in private spaces, particularly the aggressors’ own homes. Furthermore, there is a detected need for a standard definition of DFSA to allow the different actors involved in dealing with sexual violence to work effectively together, and, at the same time, it is detected that the available studies overrepresent proactive DFSA and underestimate opportunism, the most common modus operandi involved in DFSA cases.

“…3 Those drinks, also called spiked drinks, have intoxicating or inhibiting substances added, for the purpose of drugging a potential victim. 4 Studies indicate that at least 1 in 6 American women and also 1 in 33 men are survivors of completed or attempted sexual assault during their lifetime. 5 The victim's use of drugs or alcohol may be voluntary or involuntary, which can lead to a decreased ability to refuse sex and defend against rape or other forms of sexual assault.…”

In this article, a sensing element for detection of date rape drugs in drinks is presented. The element consists of a three-dimensional printed holder, in which two embroidered electrodes have been fixed, forming a capacitive structure. As the dielectric properties of the liquid between these electrodes’ changes, the capacitance and consequently the impedance are changed. For experimental purposes, diazepam, a model rape drug, sucrose, and sodium chloride, which are used as control ingredients, were dissolved in a 40% V/V alcoholic beverage, serving as solutions for testing and comparison. The selectivity, repeatability, and sensitivity of the proposed sensor were tested. The sensitivity of detection of 1 mg/ml of diazepam in drinks was 0.92628 Ωl/mg, sucrose was 0.94774 Ωl/mg and sodium chloride was 2.46867 Ωl/mg, at 1 MHz. Moreover, with the use of the Cole impedance model, the selectivity of the sensor in the detection of diazepam, through the Nyquist plot and parameter estimation, has been achieved. Sensor repeatability was calculated through the relative standard deviation with the result for 1 mg/ml of diazepam dissolved in alcohol on 1 MHz being 2.48, in terms of impedance modulus. The presented sensor platform can successfully detect drugs in drinks and can protect from many cases of such assaults in a real world.

Aim To construct and validate a scale to measure the degree of acceptance of the population towards drug-facilitated sexual assault. Subject and methods The drug-facilitated sexual assault acceptance scale was validated in a sample of secondary school students (n = 485). For this purpose, the sample was divided into two subsamples (n1 = 240; n2 = 245), and exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were applied to each of them. In addition, the reliability of the developed scale was analyzed using Cronbach's α. Results In the exploratory factor analysis, a scale of 15 items was obtained, divided into three factors: (a) Sexual Duty, (b) Drunken Effervescence, and (c) Sexual Success. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the results. In measuring the reliability of the scale, a Cronbach's α of 0.877 was obtained for the whole sample. Conclusion These results confirm the adequacy of the scale and its component items, reflecting its suitability for measuring the acceptability of drug-facilitated sexual assaults. Thus, the drug-facilitated sexual assault acceptance scale provides a valid and reliable instrument specifically designed to measure the acceptability of drug-facilitated sexual violence.
